Metabolism of veratric acid and other aromatic compounds has been studied in two strains of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. In non-agitated cultures which contained cellulose as an additional carbon source, veratric acid was demeth(ox)ylated to vanillic acid which accumulated in the medium. Under these con

The lignin degradation abilities of wildtype, a phenol oxidase-less mutant and a phenol oxidasepositive revertant of Sporotrichum pulverulentum were compared to determine if phenol oxidase activity is necessary for lignin degradation by white-rot fungi. The phenol oxidase-less mutant was unable to d
The degradation of three non-phenolic fl-Oo 4 diarylpropane lignin model compounds was studied in cultures of the white-rot fungus Phlebia radiata. The degradation pattern of the model compound 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propane-l,3diol (I) was also compared with that of Phanerochae
In order to better understand which enzyme are of importance in lignin degradation, new cellulase deficient strains from Sporotrichum puIverulentum have been isolated by spontaneous and induced mutations from both wild type and from the earlier studied cellulase deficient strain 44. These new strain
Of eight white-rot fungi examined, seven fungi grew on nitrogen-limited poplar wood meal medium and degraded 14C-lignin in wood meal to 14CO2. Increased oxygen enhanced both the rate and extent of degradation. However, whereas Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus 115 and Pycnoporus cinnabari
